I've finished all the factions with logos and I've also finished Barsoomians and Firewall. What other factions should I do? Are they any of the current factions that aren't good enough and should be redone (if so which faction and how should it be changed)?

Sorry problems with my server. My server isn't the most reliable machine. So that being said if you use my userbars, I ask you to save the picture to another (more stable) location and not reference my site directly (I suggest Flikr). In the future I hope to relieve these issues.

According to top Consortium economists at least, while a free market and deregulation are ideal goals, the market does not police itself, and so a guiding hand ensures smooth operation and stability. As a business enterprise with thousands of hypercorp members, these financial experts argue that a nominal framework of competition regulation is necessary to derail monopolies and corruption, approve mergers, monitor risky investment and lending practices, and otherwise foil destructive efforts to game the system. The tool for this task is Oversight.

IRS meets CIA meets FBI meets...yeah, you get the picture. The Section One of the Planetary Consortium! :D

Teh he! I just got Sunward. I've added Direct Action (because I saw the logo on one of the character sheets) and Comet Express (cause I've wanted to do it for a while). I think I will do Oversight next (using the Auditor as a base).

Have you considered making Background userbars to go with the Faction user bars? I like the idea of being able to have up to 3 user bars: Background/Political Bloc/Faction. For root this would be:

Infolife

Stellar Intelligence

Exhuman

I can add the various backgrounds as well. My hope with the userbars were to allow people to express their identity within the EP universe. I do think an infolife userbar in itself is a good idea (I've already created a bioconservative one). I will add it to the list along with Stellar Intelligence.

I'd like a Nano-Ecologists userbar. Maybe you could do some planet/habitat ones too?

I'll start to work on the Nano-Ecologists. I'm torn about creating the planet/habitat userbars (though I will post other people's userbars if they would like). The reason is because most habitats are under one of the factions. With the exception of planets, there aren't many habs that are under shared control of two more more factions.

Sub-bars? Just leave the left-justified half of the habitat bars transparent. I guess it just depends on how specific you want them to be getting. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to make my own "Piccolo" userbar if I want to indicate that root is infecting that particular Jovian's Muse on the particlar planet Europa in the particlar ice-warren city of Conamara. Let alone indicating that Piccolo is a smuggler and Jovian Spy.

That would be a grossly fat userbar. Maybe I'll come up with one that is a single user bar split in four:

[Planet|City|Victim|Victim's Occupation(s)]

Now I just have to deal with the fact that I don't have a server set up yet to host it. Soon.

Utterly random question: Could you use a Droid as a file server? It should be up and on any time your phone is up and on, which should be most of the time. I'll have to check on phone contract EULAs.

Not sure about a Droid phone, but I use to host a website from my Nokia N800 (another Linux based phone). It wouldn't be that hard of a stretch to do with a Droid phone as well (Challenge accepted :) ).

Looks like the forum setup does not like a certain number of images in a 50 post page.

If I had to guess, it's because the forum is stored in SQLite? Pictures get stored as BLOBs in most db systems, and they can act differently than text or integer values. It gives systems hicups on occasion.

I'd say go for the morph types if you want? But, I'm weighing in that the Clanking Masses are the impoverished poor of the inner system, complete with the heavy social stigma and distinctive appearance. No one would argue that swarmanoid or slitheroid, or battlebot, were of the Clanking Masses, but they are certainly synthomorphs.

Clanking Masses implies cheap, unelegant design that is a sign of poverty. Which is why we gotta take it back! Ahem. Also, Clanking Masses just has this... traction to it.
